Should of Said Yes

Not in triumph or in glory but… in fun?
Shino dropped to Hinata's side and put his hands behind his head. He could still hear her ragged breathing from their little sparring match. Shino wasn't expecting her to go so far as using her Byakugan, but then again he could understand why she would. He wasn't exactly being fair to her. Doing what he wanted with out giving her any choices. But that's what she did to him. Hinata made him into a completely different person.
Hinata looked over at Shino. His jacket came undone from dodging her attacks, so she could see a grin plastered across his face.
"I never knew you were so terrified of them Hinata," Shino said while turning to look at her fully.
Hinata stood up and crossed her arms. She was quiet for a minute, still trying to catch her breath. "I'm not terrified of them, I just would rather not have them crawling all over me." She wanted to sound angry, but her voice didn't hold a light to it.
Hinata tensed when Shino stood and moved towards her. He lightly caressed her cheek then tucked some stray stands of hair behind her ear.
I'll become better for you. I promise.
Hinata blinked as Shino turned away from her and went to her desk and sat in a chair. He opened the drawer where she placed the scroll in and pulled it out. Then he completely ignored her and started to read like he was when she first entered her room.
Hinata sighed and decided to pick out some clothes to wear for tomorrow, seeing how Shino wasn't going to leave anytime soon. As she was rummaging through her closet she looked over her shoulder at Shino. "Why are you so interested in that jutsu?" She asked as she turned back around and pulled out a plain dark blue shirt.
"Because you are and I'm interested in you."
Hinata put her hands to her cheeks as she felt them warm up, but quickly put them down when she felt Shino's eyes on her. But when she turned around she only saw his back, his attention was back on the scroll.
Hinata turned back around to her closet, but she wasn't looking for clothes for tomorrow anymore. She just stared at the shirts and pants hanging up neatly, but her mind was somewhere else. Hinata hated herself for doing it, but she started to compare Shino and Naruto together.
They really are complete opposites. She thought quietly as she played with a sleeve of a shirt hanging in front of her. "But how can I like someone, who's the total opposite of the person I admire, in that way?" Hinata whispered to herself.
Hinata rubbed her temples as she felt a large headache form. She started thinking of the ways she should of done things. How she should of responded to Shino so she wouldn't be in the predicament she was is now.
But the only reason why it is so difficult now is because you're considering him. The little voice in her mind reminded her thoughtfully.
"Hinata?" Shino asked.
Hinata quickly turned around, "Yes?"
Shino looked at her with questioning eyes, but thought better of it to not ask her why she was suddenly all jumpy. "I asked you if you were busy tomorrow."
Hinata blinked at him a couple of times. Is he asking me out? She thought panicked.
"W-well I. That is," Hinata started to play with her fingers. Think of something! Hinata was quiet for a moment, but then smiled. "Well I was at a sleepover at Tenten's and they are all probably really worried about me, so I'm going to have to spend the day with them tomorrow to make it up. To them that is," Hinata said with a tone of urgency. "In fact, I'm going to go over there now."
Shino rested his chin on his hand. "In your pajamas?" He asked in an amused voice.
"I'll just change real quick," Hinata said. "I'll see you later then, Shino."
"No. I'll walk you over there," Shino said while standing up and re-buttoning the lower half of his jacket.
"That's okay Shino," Hinata said while waving her hands at him. She didn't realize he was in front of her until she felt him grab her hands with his own, ceasing her hands from waving.
"But I insist," Shino said as he moved in closer. Hinata could feel his breath on her cheek as she closed her eyes. Hinata thought he was about to kiss her.
"Unless you call me Shino-kun again," He said while pulling away from her.
Hinata stared at him and smiled a little when she thought how childish he was being. "Shino-kun," Hinata said softly, but mentally kicked herself when she heard the tinge of disappointment laced in the word.
Apparently Shino heard it too because a knowing smirk was on his face, but was soon covered up when he buttoned his jacket all the way up, hiding the lower part of his face from her again and then he was gone.
Hinata slowly sank to the floor and started to play with her fingers again. "I didn't even get to see his eyes," she heard herself say. She blinked, not believing what she just said. Hinata stood up quickly with her fist clenched. "What is wrong with me?!"
She stomped over to her closet and put some clothes over her pajamas and slammed the closet door shut. She walked out her room and out the entrance into the Hyuuga household and stomped down to Tenten's house. She put her hands in the pockets of her pants and felt something so she pulled it out. Hinata saw it was a ponytail holder so she pulled her hair back to let the cool breeze cool her hot neck.
As she walked down the street, caught up in her own thoughts, she didn't hear her name being called. She opened her eyes wide in surprise as she was tackled to the ground. She looked down to see pink.
"Sakura?" Hinata asked while pulling herself free out of a death grip.
"Don't leave me," Sakura said in a whining voice.
"Um, okay." Hinata said while looking at Sakura in confusion. "Why are you still walking around?"
"Don't ask. Please don't make me explain my stupidity," Sakura whined again as she helped Hinata up.
"Okay," Hinata said while smiling at her friend, but it quickly disappeared as she started to play with her fingers. "Sakura, I'm sorry I snapped at you early I—"
She was cut off with Sakura's hand in her face, "No apology needed."
Hinata looked at Sakura and smiled after she saw Sakura give her a big dopey smile. "Thanks Sakura."
"But you must answer this for me," Sakura said while looking intently at Hinata.
Hinata nodded her head. "Of course, Sakura. What is it?"
Sakura pointed at her neck, "Why are their hickeys all over your neck?"
"What?" Hinata asked as she put her hand to her neck. Realization hit her and she turned a crimson red. She started to walk fast away from Sakura for Tenten's house while putting her hair back down to cover her neck. Sakura was right behind her.
"Well? Well? What happened? Who was it? Tell me!!" Sakura asked immediately behind her whining.
"Sakura," Hinata groaned as she walked faster. Why is this happening to me? Hinata cried in her head.
"Oh, come on, you said you would answer!" Sakura said while grabbing at Hinata's sleeve.
Hinata put her hands over her ears in an attempt to tune out Sakura. I'm never playing truth or dare ever again!

Temari knocked Kankuro's chopsticks out of the way for the third time and swiped the piece of BBQ beef strip that was rightfully his. Temari smiled as she saw her little brothers eye twitch and chewed on the beef strip slowly, savoring the taste.
"Why the hell are you two here bothering me?" Kankuro asked looking at the two kunonchi in front of him.
Ino sipped her cup of green tea while rolling her eyes at him. "I already told you Jepetto, were out on a mission to find Sakura and Hinata."
"That still doesn't explain why you're here. Right now. Making my night hell," Kankuro said as he started to snatch some beef strips off of the miniature grill on the table. "If your looking for them," Kankuro said while shoving beef strips in his mouth and glaring at Ino, "then why are you sitting on your ass eating?"
Temari started in on the other beef strips, "Heroines need breaks too." Temari finished off most of the beef strips, leaving Kankuro the burnt ones.
Kankuro glared and the remaining food and called a waitress over to order more. "Stop eating the food I paid for," He said giving his sister the death glare from hell. "And looking for two girls doesn't give you the title heroine."
"Your so cruel to me," Temari said in a fake girly voice. "I clean your clothes, I cook for you, I put a roof over your head and you can't even buy me food."
"Kankuro does that for the most part Temari," Gaara stated from beside Kankuro.
Temari looked over at Gaara, "And betrayed by the youngest to add insult to injury."
Gaara sighed as Kankuro slapped his forehead. Ino sipped on her tea some more. The waitress came with more BBQ beef strips. Kankuro nodded at the waitress in thanks, but was oblivious to the light blush spread on her cheeks.
"Besides," Kankuro said as he placed each strip of beef on the grill, "aren't you suppose to be at Tenten's for her birthday. How old is she anyways?" Kankuro asked with indifference in his voice.
Temari looked at the waitress's back as she walked away to another table, then look at Kankuro. Kankuro looked up at Temari as he drank some of his own tea. "What?" He asked in annoyance.
"You're a dumbass, a very dense dumbass. It's quite amazing I'm related to you," Temari said while attacking the beef strips.
"I didn't even do anything!" Kankuro said yelling at Temari, causing people to look in their direction. "And stop eating all of them!!"
Now is the perfect time to put my ultimate plan into action, Ino thought as she smiled devilishly at Kankuro.
Gaara sighed again as he tapped Kankuro's shoulder, pulling Kankuro out of the eating contest with Temari. Kankuro looked back at Gaara then turned to see what Gaara was pointing at. Ino. What now? Kankuro thought miserable.
"You know Kankuro," Ino said while smiling oh so sweetly, "Tenten is by herself and quite drunk. I'm sure if you go over there now you can take advantage of her, but then what if she doesn't wake up. Oh, but that won't be any fun for you will it Kankuro, you want live sport. Well then I guess—"
Ino was cut off by Kankuro grabbing her collar and shaking her like a mad man, by this time all eyes in the restaurant were on them.
"What the hell is wrong with you?! I come here to enjoy a calm peaceful dinner with Gaara, then you and Temari show up, spend my money, annoy me, and now," Kankuro said yelling at the top of his lungs, "Tell me Tenten's drunk and willing for me to fuck her?!?" Kankuro finished while letting go of Ino, his once good mood now rotten.
"Aw!" Ino said with puppy dog eyes. "Don't get mad Jep— Kankuro. I have a perverted mind! Don't hold me responsible for the words that come out of my mouth," Ino said while pointing at her mouth with her index finger. "That's not fair to me. I'll pay for the bill too!" Even though I have no money on me, Ino thought as she smiled nervously with an added nervous laugh to go with it.
Temari looked at Ino and sighed inwardly. "How the hell did you possibly think your plan to—" Temari was cut off as Ino slammed her foot down on Temari's. In reflex, Temari punched Ino in her chest. Temari gritted in pain as she touched her poor innocent foot.
The two kunoichi looked over to see Kankuro and Gaara. Kankuro giving them a blank look and Gaara, well, giving them a Gaara expression. Ino laughed nervously again and grabbed Temari by the arm and yanked her close so she could talk without the to Sand boys listening. "Are you trying to ruin everything I've worked so hard on?" Ino demanded whispering.
"Worked on? You thought about this idiotic plan for five minutes before we walked in here!" Temari said while moving her sore foot.
Ino glared at Temari as Temari glared back, then Ino pushed Temari back to her side. The two Sand boys were still looking right at her. So she did the only thing that came to her mind.
"Oh Temari," Ino said rubbing her breasts. "I'm still not fully developed there yet! You could have done some serious damage. I'll have to check myself once I get home to see if my precious babies shrunk at all," Ino said while looking down at her chest.
Kankuro stared at Ino as she looked up and she smiled in triumph. "You are seriously fucked up." He then went back to eating more beef strips.
Ino looked over at Gaara to see him staring at her chest. Ino immediately put her hands down. Gaara kept on staring at her breasts.
Ino glared at the red head, but he apparently didn't take the hint because he kept on staring to his hearts content. Ino looked over at Temari to be given a "serves you right for hurting my foot" look. Oh well, as long as my plan turns out working. But then Ino felt her eye twitching when she saw Gaara put his chin on his hand and lean forward so anyone with eyes could see where his attention was being held.
Temari made a un-lady like snort and stood up. "Gaara," Temari said making Gaara look away from Ino's chest. "Come help me find Hinata and Sakura."
Gaara took one last glimpse at Ino's chest and stood up and followed Temari out.
Now that Temari and Gaara left, Ino decided to put her plan into action. "Kankuro," she said softly in her seductive voice, but he didn't even look up at her.
"What?" he asked between chewing on his food and breathing.
Ino kicked him in the shin. "Look at me when I'm seducing you!" Ino ordered as she stood up. "We're going out starting today," Ino said while gripping the table, keeping her balanced as she yelled right in his face. "I'll see you tomorrow," Ino said in a sweet voice then she walked out of the restaurant.
Kankuro was about to yell hell no to Ino, but the waitress placed the bill on the table. "Damn it," Kankuro muttered as he fished out his wallet. "So much for my calm, peaceful night." Kankuro paid the bill, paying no attention to the blushing waitress, and left to the apartment him and his siblings were renting.
As Gaara and Temari were walking down the busy streets on Konoha, going nowhere in particular, Gaara spotted Shikamaru and looked over at Temari. She saw him too and turned around and started walking back the way they came. Gaara imagined crushing him with his sand, but turned around and followed his sister.
Shikamaru sighed as he looked at Temari's retreating back. Everyone was telling her different stories about him having a girlfriend, causing her to completely ignore him. He was pretty pissed that she wouldn't even come to him to ask him for his side of the story so he didn't bother telling her. Let her believe what she wants. Shikamaru thought while he continued walking. He couldn't stop the tinge of guilt that overcame him. Troublesome women.
Temari stopped walking fast when she was sure she was far enough away from Shikamaru. She put her hand on her chest as she tried to catch her breath. She wasn't tired from walking. She just felt like she was going to faint when she saw Shikamaru.
She also felt like crying, despite herself.
"Temari?" Gaara asked as he slowly walked up to her.
"Hm?" That was the only sound she could make. If she talked, she knew she would cry and she didn't want to do that to Gaara.
"Are you lonely?" Gaara asked her. Temari turned around, shocked at his question. Then she felt guilty when she looked into Gaara's face. I act like the world around me is crumbling just because Shikamaru found someone. What did I expect? Two completely different villages and we both have missions to do and not to mention a social life, how did I really think he'd wait. I need to stop blaming him. Not to mention I'm making Gaara and Kankuro worry about me. Could I be any more hopeless?
Temari looked at her brother and gave him a weak smile, "I'll be fine." Temari stretched her arms then gave Gaara a real smile. "As long as I have you and Kankuro around, I'll always be fine by the end of the day."
Gaara stared at his sister, but his eyes crinkled in a smile. "Good answer," Gaara said while crossing his arms.
"Yeah, and to think I just now came up with it," Temari said laughing. Thanks Gaara.
"What a touching scene this is. I know for a fact Jiraiya-sama would put this in one of his master pieces."
Temari and Gaara turned around to see the once perverted sensei of Naruto and Sakura with Sai beside him.
"Is this what you would call endearing?" Sai asked Kakashi while looking between Gaara and Temari with mild intrest.
"Yes, I suppose it is," Kakashi said, his eyes never wondering away from his beloved Icha Icha book. "And how are the two Sand ninja this night?" Kakashi asked while turning a page.
Temari crossed her arms, a little more than irritated at the two who intruded on her conversation with her younger brother. "Fine," she muttered, short and to the point.
"Well somebody's panties are tied in a bunch," Kakashi stated as he yawned.
Temari felt her face flush. "How dare you have the audacity to even—"
"Are you still looking for Hinata?" Sai asked as he interrupted Temari.
Temari blinked at Sai. "How'd you know I was looking for Hinata?"
Sai didn't answer her, but reminisced about his encounter with his teammate.
As Sakura made hand seals and came right towards him something came over Sai. He couldn't explain it. He felt nothing, but his body language radiated fury. The only thing he heard in his mind was Sakura's soft question, "Sasuke-kun?"
And that was it.
Before Sakura could finish the final hand seal she needed, Sai came at her, faster than either expected. He kicked her roughly in her gut, too much for Sakura to handle. For one thing he was acting like a moron a second ago and now he was suddenly psychotic.
Sakura would have doubled over, but then Sai smashed his forehead against hers, making a hard cracking sound. Sakura fell backwards into the alley behind her, with Sai on top of her. When she opened her dazed eyes she took a sharp breathe of surprise. Sai's hands were inside her top, on her back. Ripping the fabric of her bra.
Sakura felt like she was in a dream. Her vision was horrible. She still felt Sai's forehead on hers. She even felt their mixed blood trickling down her forehead pass her nose, down to her chin. She arched her back out of instinct when she felt Sai's hard body push down fully on her.
Sakura tried to lift her head up, but it was absurdly heavy. The ground was so hard. Her head felt like mush next to it. Who ever heard of a kunonchi, who's training under the fifth, to be taken down by a mere head butt? Sakura thought bitterly.
As if knowing her distress, Sai removed one of his hands from her back – the hand holding her braw – Sakura noted dimly and cradled her head in his hand, away from the rough concrete.
Sakura shivered as she felt Sai's hand massaged her back as he nipped her lower lip. "Sai?" Sakura whispered distressed.
Harsh lips collided with hers. Sakura eyes widened in shock. Sai pulled her hip to meet his so their lower bodies touched. Sakura tried to move away from him, but he held her down firmly as he placed his free hand on her stomach to hold her in place.
His brutal assault on her lips didn't stop. Sakura had to receive air through her nose. He wouldn't stop. He couldn't stop. His kiss wasn't what she wanted her first kiss to be like. Sai's kiss was rough and harsh. As if he was punishing her.
Sai finally moved his mouth away from hers, but not before licking her bottom lip. Sakura shuddered when he licked her neck where her pulse was throbbing. Her back arched off the cold concrete when he started to bite there.
Sakura turned her head away when Sai started to fully assault her neck and closed her eyes, but only for a second. Sai grabbed her chin roughly, but Sakura kept her eyes closed. Sai bent down slowly and whispered coolly in her ear, "Are you imagining I'm Sasuke-kun again Sakura? Are you truly that conceited?"
Sakura opened her eyes to find no Sai in sight. She slowly made her way up to a sitting position and touched her forehead lightly. "I'm not conceited," Sakura whispered to herself. She slowly stood up and did a couple of hand signs and added chakra into her hands.
Sai tilted his head from the roof of a building he was currently watching Sakura from. "A healing jutsu," Sai said to no one in particular. With that he dashed off the roof and onto another one, away from Sakura. But not before hearing Sakura yelling, "You could have given me my bra back!"
"I may need it for black mail," Sai said, again, to himself.
"Well?" Temari asked as she tapped her foot, waiting for Sai to reply. Her patience was on thin ice at this point.
Sai just looked at Temari blankly, not saying a word.
Temari clenched her fist and lifted it as if to strike him, but put it down. "You know what. This is okay. I'm in a perfectly good mood. Good night," Temari said while slowly walking away from Gaara, Kakashi, and Sai.
Once she was gone Kakashi looked away from his book and looked down at Gaara and Sai, "Hungry?"
Gaara wasn't, but he nodded his head all the same as Sai answered by saying, "Yes."
"Okay then, but I'm not buying," Kakashi stated as he saw Kankuro. "Hey Kankuro! Come eat with us!"
"Go to hell!" Kankuro said as he stomped off in the other direction.
"What an odd family you have Gaara-san," Kakashi said as he put all his attention back to his book.
"You have no idea," Gaara said in a dark voice while staring at his hand.
Kakashi just stared at Gaara, "You know, I can't tell if your being serious or not. Your sense of humor isn't exactly understandable." Kakashi was quiet for a minute then opened his book again. "Oh well." Then he started to walk to the restaurant Gaara just ate at.

Tenten took a step back as Neji moved towards her. "You didn't have to break down the door," Tenten heard her voice, but it didn't sound like hers at all.
Neji didn't answer her, but kept on moving towards her. He moved deliberately slow. Tenten swallowed the fear in her throat. She really didn't know what to expect from him. He wasn't exactly readable. Especially not now, since she just basically told him they were done with, when apparently he came over to give her a gift. But there was a girl! Tenten thought as her fear turned to anger.
"Who was that girl Neji?" Tenten demanded as she pointed her finger at him.
Neji grabbed her finger and squeezed it tightly. "You think just because there's some girl on the street, I'm automatically with her?" He asked in a dangerously low voice as he grabbed hold of her wrist.
"Is that all you ever thought of me?" He said, his voice full of malice, while grabbing her other wrist and pushing her into the kitchen till her back hit the counter near the sink.
"What am I suppose to think anymore?" Tenten demanded as she looked into those unemotionally, crystal eyes. She felt like crying, but she wouldn't give him the satisfaction. "Get out!"
"We've talked about this more than once! She kissed me, damn it, I didn't do anything!" Neji yelled at her as he pushed her harder into the edge of the counter.
"That's exactly it Neji! You didn't do anything! You just stood there!" Tenten shrieked. Neji was stunned by her piercing scream and let go of one of her wrists. Tenten's eyes widened at her childishness and covered her mouth with her free hand before a sob broke loose, but to late, Neji heard it.
Tenten heard him mutter something unintelligent as he picked her up and carried her up her stairs. Despite how much hatred and contempt she was feeling right now for Neji, she sagged into his chest and closed her eyes as she silently cried.
Once in her room, Tenten thought Neji would lay her on her bed and leave her alone, so she was surprised when Neji sat on her bed and laid her on his lap. Tenten didn't want to see his face, so she buried her face in his chest and sobbed as quietly as possible.
She felt Neji's grip on her tighten, but he didn't say anything. So Tenten just cried away all of her loneliness as Neji held her quietly. Tenten couldn't even hear him breathing anymore. Once she couldn't cry anymore, completely spent, Neji stood up with her still in her arms. He pulled back the covers on her bed and tucked her in quietly.
Tenten nibbled on her lower lip as she looked at Neji's face intently. He wouldn't even look at her. It was as if making sure she was completely covered by blankets was his main priority. Tenten closed her eyes shut tightly. Please don't leave me again.
Tenten felt herself engulfed in warmth from the blankets, but gave a start when she felt Neji's body make the mattress sink a little. She opened her eyes to see him staring right at her. He entwined his fingers with her hair. "Tenten," he whispered as his breath mingled with her own. "I'll make a promise with you, but only if you make one with me," Neji said as he moved his fingers through her hair.
Tenten felt herself blushing, but didn't pull back. "What is it?" Tenten said softly. She was a little surprised at how soft and tired her voice sounded.
Neji moved in closer to Tenten, if it was at all possible.
"I'll never hurt you that way again. I'm not promising I'll never hurt you again, because I know I'm not perfect," Neji said as he moved one of his hands out of her hair and lightly caressed her cheek.
Tenten didn't like him being this serious about her, so she tried to turn this conversation into a lighter mood, "Neji? You not perfect? I think—"
She was cut off from the miserable look he gave her. He kissed her lightly on the lips then a bit harder. Not in anger, but in urgency. The need to be with her was overwhelming.
"I'll never hurt you in that way," Neji said between breathes. He felt Tenten's tears on his own face.
"Promise me?" Tenten asked between a sob.
Neji threw the blankets he arranged so neatly off of her so he could feel her body. "Yes," Neji pledged as his hands caressed her arms. He pushed her down hard as his hands grabbed her hair to hold her in place. He kissed her fully now and she kissed him back with a long wanting. "I've missed you," Neji whispered in Tenten's ear.
"Apparently," Ino said with her arms crossed from the bedroom door. Tenten looked over to see Sakura, Hinata, and Temari with her. Sakura was looking at the ceiling with a light blush across her face and Hinata was looking at the ground with her face crimson red. Temari just gave her a wink and Ino looked. Mad?
Tenten squeaked and dove back under the covers. How long were they there? Tenten felt her entire body being engulfed with a blush. "You didn't sense them at all, Neji?" Tenten asked as her embarrassment was reaching its limit.
Neji didn't answer her question, but pulled her out from under the blankets. He whispered in her ear the promise she had to keep to him, kissed her lightly on her lips, nipping her bottom one while he was at it, then walked past the other four kunonchi.

"I can't believe your giving him another chance!" Ino said irritably as she passed the cards out to the others. They were once again in a circle, as they were when the night first started to get wild.
"There's nothing wrong with me forgiving him. No one's perfect Ino," Tenten said in her own irritable voice. Her eyes glared at Ino's giving her a your really starting to piss me off look.
"Yeah, especially not him!" Ino countered glaring back at Tenten. Your ruining everything I'm doing! Ino thought as she while looked at her cards.
"Ino, let it go already, will ya?" Temari pleaded. "Just drop it. I already have a major headache."
Sakura just looked at her cards, caught up in her own thoughts. I'm not conceited, am I? Sakura asked herself as one question led to another. Damn you Sai! "Damn you!" Sakura said while standing up, knocking over her and Ino's drink, splattering it all over the pillows they were sitting on.
"Hey!" Ino yelled jumping out of the way.
"I'll go get some towels," Hinata said standing up and placing her cards on Tenten's desk nearby. She walked out of the bedroom.
"Their in the downstairs bathroom, Hinata," Tenten yelled to Hinata.
"Kay," Hinata answered back. Tenten probably didn't hear her though because of her voice going back to normal. That is inaudible and muffled is considered normal to Hinata.
She walked down the stairs and looked at the front door. They tried to fix it as best they could, but now it just looked ridiculous. It was still knocked down in half and the right side of the broken door was tilted so it was halfway inside the house. I hope Tenten and Neji-san can make it.
She walked into the kitchen and was about to walk out of it to the bathroom, but the phone rang.
"Hinata, could you answer that?" She heard Tenten yell from upstairs. It also sounded like someone was wrestling upstairs. Then she heard Temari threaten Ino and Tenten. The wrestling stopped.
"Tenten's. May I ask who's calling?" Hinata asked as she put the phone to her ear.
"It's Shino." He told her that and Kurenai wanted to meet up at the training grounds tomorrow by 7:00 A.M. Then they just started talking about nothing really. Incoherent things. They just talked and talked and when Hinata looked up at the clock on the stove, almost an hour had passed. She was surprised that Tenten and the others didn't call her name to come back up stairs.
"Ah, Shino-kun, I have to go," Hinata said about to hang up the phone.
"I'll see tomorrow then," Shino said and was about to hang up the phone until Hinata said, "Um. Shino-kun?"
"Hn?" Shino asked. He was glad that they were able to talk again like they use to.
"Hinata?" Shino asked when she didn't reply.
"Um. After we're done training," why couldn't she control her words? Why was she saying this? "We could go out and eat together," She needed to stop before she made another regret.
"Me, you, and them?" Shino said. Them being as in Temari, Tenten, Sakura, and Ino. He still remembered she wanted to spend tomorrow with them.
This is it. I can still fix this. Just say yes, with the others. "No," Hinata said quietly. "Just me. And you."
"Your sure?" Shino asked.
You're giving up Naruto. This is against everything. "I'm sure."
"I'll see you tomorrow then," Shino said with a hint of success in his voice.
"Tomorrow," Hinata said as she hung up the phone and put it back on the receiver. She didn't move away from the phone, she didn't even make a sound. What am I doing?
When she walked back upstairs the girls were playing cards. Hinata didn't even think they noticed her until Ino asked her where the towels were, so she ran back downstairs and got two used looking ones and headed back upstairs. When she came back the four kunonchi were laughing and having fun again. Then that feeling of loneliness crept back up her spine. Why do I always feel like this? Hinata asked herself as she sat down in the circle of her friends again.
"Who called?" Tenten asked as she took the pillowcases off the wet and sticky pillows.
"Kiba wanted to tell me to be at the training grounds at 7:00 AM," Hinata said as she grabbed her hand of cards. "I'll have to leave early, sorry."
"Hey, don't worry about it," Tenten said with a smile.

Hinata listened to the sound of the other girls light snores. She quietly sat up then ever so more silently, stood up and went over to Tenten's desk. She pulled the chair out as gently as possible, than sat. She took a blank piece of paper and took a pen from a cup that had a full capacity of pens and pencils. She wrote down on her piece of paper:
My Regrets
Playing truth or dare. Then I wouldn't have found out how Shino felt about me.
Being mean to Shino, making him show his cruel and angry side. That's what made me like him more. Seeing more of him that I didn't know exist.
Hinata chewed thoughtfully on the pen she was writing with.
Asking Shino out on a date. Showing him that I'm interested in him. I don't want to like him like this. I hate liking him like this.
Hinata folded the piece of paper and stuck it into her pajama pants. Then she went back to her sleeping area and lay back down. When she closed her eyes all she saw was Shino, when all she use to see was Naruto. These new feelings for Shino were making her Naruto disappear and she hated herself more than anything for it.

black dimanond: Thanks : ) I'm trying to fit this story into 14 chapters, but I don't think I'll be able to do it. I hate typing. I wish my ideas would type themselves: P What a beautiful world that would be!
Artemis 85: (Claps for evil cut offs) Muhaha! I've been trying to read the Naruto online Manga so I can know the personalities of other characters, BUT IT TAKES FOR EVER TO LOAD!! Cursed Dial up. ; )
-LavenderkisseS-: Hope you liked this one too!! I tried to make this one long too, but I'll have to see what it looks like when it's added. They tricked me last time, oh but not ever again. (Ahem) Anyways, thanks for your review! ; )
Xelise-Rage of Quills – : Kiba will be in the next one. Yay for high school dramas! Tell me when you publish your doll story. I want to read it so bad! By the way, thanks again for burning that CD for me!
flooding-rivers: LOL! Their relationship is kind of rocky and Ino doesn't want them together. Ah, sweet drama. I love Shino! Take him now Hinata!!
Anjiska: I love Sai! Die Sasuke!! Die! XD Just kidding, I don't dislike him that much. Tenten and Kankuro… hm, I'll have to read Ninja Shen's story on them. I bet you hate me after this chapter LOL: P Just because is together now though, doesn't mean they'll be together later (Not mentioning any names here) But just so you know! XD
MissMelody21: (Cries) Don't blame Shino! He has all this pent up love and irritation! XD I give him the right to be mean!! Be mean Shino! Be mean. XD Naw, but he's not like that the whole story, so no worries! ; )
Thefullygirlalchemist: Yeah, I'm not to fond of NarutoXHinata either. Don't get me wrong, I love Naruto, but I just don't like those to together. Whoa, OrochimaruXHinata. That's craziness, man. I'm going to go read one now!! XD Thanks for reviewing!
Onototellingoyou:If you ever run out of ideas, make Tenten have a hangover!A family should no if a member has a crazy obsession with a girl. That's just being a good family XD Thanks for reviewing.
OttPop:: ) Did more. Hope you liked it!
Lady Of Genesis: Really? I love Sai. He's up in my top favorite characters. I'll change your mind about him by the end of this story!!! LOL, Not really. We'll just hope I write them good together. : D Thanks for reviewing!
binii-binii: Thanks! How'd you like this one? I tried to add more people in it, (scratches head) but I don't know if I'm going to be able to. I feel like I'm drifting away from HinataXShino, so the next chapter will basically be all them. Thanks for reviewing!!
Shelimar: Thank you. I like that too, but am I making him too mean? XD I hope not. He's got his nice points! Hope you liked this chapter! Thanks for reviewing!
Sorry if I forgot any.
MBE: Next chapter will take awhile because I'm going on a trip, so I'll be on hold, but not for long. Plus reviews give me typing stamina! R&R please and flaming is always welcome. I already got an idea for another story after this one. I thought about posting that one (scratches head), but I thought better of it. I'll finish this one first.
Yours truly,
RJA

Preview for Chapter 4
Naruto, Rock Lee, and Kiba pulled out chairs from different tables and joined Shino and Hinata. Hinata could see Shino's eyebrows twitching with fury when Naruto put his chair next to hers. She couldn't help it. When Naruto was his close to her, she blushed madly.
"Man, Kurenai went all out at practice today, right Shino?" Kiba asked as he flipped through the menu. Akumaru sat content in Kiba's lap, panting because of the humidity.
Shino just nodded his head as he saw Hinata start to play with her fingers.
"Eh, Hinata. What are you getting?" Naruto asked Hinata, oblivious as always to Hinata's blushes. He just gave her one of his dopey smiles, which made her play with her fingers. Shino didn't miss it. He didn't miss anything.
"W-well." Hinata said looking at her menu, but not reading any of the words. She swallowed and looked back at Naruto. "I'm not quite s-sure," Hinata answered trying to hide her flaming face with the menu.
"Hm," Naruto started looking through his menu. "Well, tell me if you find anything. Nothing really looks too good. Tell me what you get and I'll get the same," Naruto said smiling at the menu covering her beet red face.
Before she could answer she heard three kunai hit the table by her side. To be exact, right in front of Naruto.
"What the hell was that for, baka?!" Naruto yelled at Shino, drawling attention to them. Naruto already pulled out his own kunai.
Hinata looked up from her menu to see Shino and Naruto standing right in front of each other.
